Which country is Scuderia Ferrari based in?

Scuderia Ferrari is based in Italy. Its headquarters and racing operations are in Maranello, a town in the province of Modena in Emilia-Romagna.

Enzo Ferrari founded the racing team in Modena in 1929. After Ferrari separated from Alfa Romeo, the operation moved to Maranello in 1943, where the team and Ferrari’s road-car factory remain. The location became closely associated with the team’s identity and is often called the home of the Prancing Horse.

Scuderia is Italian for a stable, and the name reflects the team’s Italian origins. Ferrari’s famous emblem, the prancing horse, also has an Italian story: it was adapted from the symbol used by First World War pilot Francesco Baracca.

A common mix-up is confusing the team’s country with the nationality of its drivers or the location of a particular Grand Prix. The team is Italian even when its drivers, sponsors, or race venues come from elsewhere.
